George Low '48, Rensselaer's 14th president,
led the Apollo Spacecraft Program that successfully landed
man on the moon. A collection of his space memorabilia, donated
to Rensselaer by the family, is on display in the newly designed
gallery. The George M. Low Gallery is located on the fourth
floor of the Low Center for Industrial Innovation. |

"George Low achieved his success in
part thanks to his own innate skills, and in part thanks
to the rigor of his Rensselaer education," said President
Jackson. "He was a pioneer in every sense of the word,
on the voyage toward the 21st century. "

"The foundation he laid
prepared Rensselaer well for the challenges we face today,
when the demand for scientific discovery - and its technological
application - is greater than ever," she continued. |
